Oh, I see. They cooked from skin water bottles. They bathed from skin water bottles. They fed animals from skin water bottles. Sure.

They did leave lots of broken skin bottles lying all over the place too! It was a huge MESS! But, as you know, over time, they biodegrated and so archaeologists, laking the skill to locate those lost molecules are not able to confirm for us anything.
You are just being silly. You are completely ignoring the presence of pottery in Bronze Age Middle East. Take a course or two in archeology of the Middle East, and then come back and talk to us.

Were they to post their stuff on the board here, I'd go after their arguements as bad archaeology too.
Since many people here (including me) base their arguments on Finkelstein and Silberman's work, would you mind to give some details what's wrong with it in a new thread?

Sure. Look for OVERVIEW: FINKELSTEIN/SILBERMAN AND SOLOMON

@Hex: If you really want to start a thread on this, may I suggest a new one? After just the OP by Lars, it's already clear that his will go nowhere.
